I'm hoping there is alcohol involved, and this is a rhetorical question..... :o

:D At the end of the day I would rather have Nicky D. over half the current forwards, we probably won't score more goals, but it be some fun hockey to watch!

Wow, you merged JJFIVEOH and Jsixspd in your mind, the tank has been hard on you!

We can look at just about anyone and start a debate that any given person is a major factor for this teams play. I look at one person GMTM, he put it together to be where it is right now, he will have failed if we finish 29th. So his success is in compiling a team playing off of the combination of individual weaknesses and failing, yet looking as though he is trying to make the team better. He's brilliant, and succeeding because we are actually having this debate.

Goal deferential between seasons is a questionable stat as we are Miller-less this year. No winning 1-0, or the dreaded 1-1 go into shoot outs and get pumped up stats. This years team is not as good as last years team, and the stats bear that out. This team has been put together for one purpose, if you try to dissect it and find a positive you'll be hard pressed. This train of thought has kept me sane, and I have papers from the nice Hospital in North Warren, PA telling me I'm not crazy.

I know people from Halifax are nice and all but I thought you were being sarcastic and it made me laugh. But you are and where being...nice. Wow, I feel bad now.

They all know the score. If they win, GMTM makes changes. If they loose GMTM does nothing to alter that. If we think it's tuff as fans, it's has to really suck to be players and coaches. Cody gave up months ago, that works for GMTM, so no love needs given to player or coach to solve it. Nolan would love to bring up AHLer's to help them win, GMTM is not going to do that. Suck it up, play like a professional, it's a tank year, the more dysfunctional the better.

Sadly, more so than hopefully you will ever know. When my brother passed at a young age I was talking to a hospital director who put it perspective. Men between the ages of 35-45 believe they are still indestructible. Eat, drink what ever than want, never go to the doctor, play sports like they are 10-15 younger. Then wham, hopefully just a wake up call, but in many cases they don't get a second chance. Women, because of having babies, have been to a doctor regularly, have learned how to eat well, proper exercise, moderate their alcohol consumption, all for the babies sake. Therefore less change of dying of natural causes at such a young age. RIP Steve

Sounds right to me. If Cody didn't want to hear it from Nolan and tuned him out, there was nothing Nolan could do. If Cody warmed a little to Nolan, then hopefully Nolan talked and they are trying to work it out. Sounds like they should be on a Jerry Springer Show.

You are in the worlds most northern year round open water port right? There's this Atlantic warm water current phenomenon and stuff..I have the great ability to remember stuff that usually serves no useful purpose to my day to day existence, but occasionally I'm able to use it for causing trouble...

It was -24 Deg F, not sure wind chill factor, this morning. And your telling me it was -6 deg F, 3000 frickin miles to the north of me, about 10 ft (3.3 meters on the new fashioned measuring stick) from the center of the North Pole in Halifax and your almost 20 degrees warmer...That's not right, just not right.

That's more like it....

Not going to debate the fourth rounder at all, I think that is about right. I just don't see GMTM signing him (his preference for big). So a fourth is something, compared to just letting him go for nothing., and I don't see GMTM not getting something. GMTM seems to be stock piling goalies, big goalies, a late round Miller find may be what he is looking to achieve.

-15 deg F this morning here and I'm not that far down the lake...Good news is there should be only a few people at canal side if you want a nice skate before the game. My hope over the few weeks is Neuvirth plays him self into trade-able, so I hope they do play him often and he performs well. Then start bringing up the young ones.

If the Sabres had a Kessel type player with one-tenth the offensive out put he could be called Hodson, Hodgy, Hodgson, Coney, Cody, HaHd-Son, Hahdey, Hodgey. The Mini Me of Kessel? Min-K?

What is this? Who kidnapped the Halifax Instigator and wrote this post? this is how to do it...

:worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

I hope your right, it would be Hockey God karma to do that to us, ruin our run.

AAAAHHHH, all is right in the world now

Not just one injury, but I thought I heard a broken bone in his foot, a broken bone in his hand, and the shoulder. He just couldn't work through the pain and loss of strength from the shoulder injury any longer, hence the surgery.

Good call Heimdall. The best refs or linesmen are never talked about as they are opaque to us fans.

YES, Yes!

Stanlee looks like the winged dude from that old Flash Gordon Movie with Sam Jones(?)

Clearly the thread with the most nominated posts of the year!

Welcome to the Forum!!! See people, this first, then all of the above should come after. Your Mothers' would not approve of this behavior...
